  1. How to File a Complaint against BON

    BeenThere2012 replied to twins2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Okay. Point taken. How often do you actually go online and just for kicks and giggles, make sure you are actually licensed? Seriously....once you do all you are responsible to do, and receive your...

  2. How to File a Complaint against BON

    BeenThere2012 replied to twins2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Again, I guess Im not making my points clearly enough. I know it is my responsibility and of course I check that everything went through as expected, to be sure. I'm saying that after having done...

    BeenThere2012 replied to SICUshortCait's topic in General Nursing

    I get it. The association of the 2 was

  5. How to File a Complaint against BON

    BeenThere2012 replied to twins2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I guess my point was that if I have no knowledge of doing something that would make my license be suspended...or put it this way....If I had done all I am supposed to do and then find out it was...

  6. How to File a Complaint against BON

    BeenThere2012 replied to twins2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes. Of course it is our responsibility to keep our licenses current and to know when and what and all that. I had the impression he was saying he did all he was supposed to do and yet...

  7. When you're the patient...

    BeenThere2012 replied to quazar's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, I don't think it is such a good idea to under-report pain. It is a symptom, and in your case, a worsening symptom that you should report to your doctor. What is possible to do in the future is to...

  8. Nurses and CNAs

    BeenThere2012 replied to missmaddie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Sounds like it might be personal...NOT that you did anything wrong. Have you directly asked them why they don't want to work with you? Just curious. Sounds like they are deliberately not doing...

  9. Tattoos?

    BeenThere2012 replied to heronurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It's sometimes about style, sometimes a way of stating what you believe in, affiliation or pollitical. Sometimes, it is theraputic. Sometimes its simply, purely art! I really don't know what all...

  10. Tattoos?

    BeenThere2012 replied to heronurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Heinz57 made several different points. I believe the one you are questioning had more to do with considering (asking the OP to consider) the effect that tattoos have on some people, specifically for...

  11. Tattoos?

    BeenThere2012 replied to heronurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I understand the frustration you feel when someone criticizes and uses some crazy, off-point statement, but you didn't need to clarify...your post was very clear and informative. I appreciated it and...

  12. Tattoos?

    BeenThere2012 replied to heronurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You are giving examples of jail house tattoos as an argument that she is INCORRECT!

  13. Tattoos?

    BeenThere2012 replied to heronurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I have one that sometimes peaks through a bit depending on the scrub. I have had a lot of compliments from patients and some family members too. Often has been a good conversation starter...not that...

  14. Who needs a bigger pat on the back?

    BeenThere2012 replied to bossman's topic in General Nursing

    Not an "either or" question for me. I have always felt that Nurses, Teachers and Social Workers work harder than most and relatively speaking, make the least amount of money in compensation for all...

  15. Physician Bullying of Nurses Reaching Epidemic Levels

    BeenThere2012 replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Nursing News

  17. How to File a Complaint against BON

    BeenThere2012 replied to twins2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    True. But....how was he to know if he never received notice from them? Do we go online day by day to check if we in deed are still licensed, just because? Name or address change aside, Ive heard of...

  18. How to File a Complaint against BON

    BeenThere2012 replied to twins2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am so sorry you are going through this. As important as BON/BRNs are to nurses, generally, we have little to no knowledge on how they work, are governed, etc..When that topic came up in my...

    BeenThere2012 replied to kindia's topic in General Nursing

    Understand....Here it is in a nutshell. Travel position asked to extend 4 times. All was well, no issues, no history of drug problems, never stole drugs from anywhere. Not my issue. Called in to her...

  23. How do you deal with Doctors that insult nurses?

    BeenThere2012 replied to relusanmi's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with everything you said here. When I have to call and wake a physician, I actually am sorry I am waking them. Most can tell that you actually do care about them. It's a two-way street. I...

    BeenThere2012 replied to BeenThere2012's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
